re: hahahahha. Sure looks different when the shoe is on the other foot. This isnt an outrage, it is a BALANCING

hahaha is right. I consider this an opportunity.

Check out what MSFT says:

Microsoft's legal consultant, Charles ''Rick'' Rule, a former senior Justice Department official, said the AOL-Netscape agreement is precisely the type of cooperative venture that the government alleges was improper for Microsoft even to attempt.

Among the government's charges is that Microsoft attempted in June 1995 to divide the market with Netscape for Internet software.
''Unless they're about to go and criminally charge the Netscape and AOL and Sun people, which they aren't, then they can't claim these kinds of negotiations are improper,'' Rule said. ''AOL and Sun are dividing up a business along some sort of market lines based on the strength of each company.''
